"Robert Plant called her his 'favorite singer out of all the British girls there ever were.' But a compliment of her singing alone undercuts the holistic talents of the musician Sandy Denny.

Both aspects of her talents remain essential to the fabric of the British folk-rock movement of the 1960s and ‘70s. Though the modern music press frequently portrays Denny as a cartoon-ish caricature of a temperamental singing faerie, she in fact endures, 40 years after her death, as an unexampled lyricist and songwriter, and an equally magnetic performer. ..."
